 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Incredible experience on my first ocean dives! The staff in the shop and the crew on the boat made me feel confident, safe and excited to get in the water. I had two different dive instructors on two different days- Fernando and Risky- and both made the experience great. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Amazing experience! My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time! I was a little nervous as I’ve only snorkeled once before but the guides were great ensuring I was safe and enjoying myself throughout. We saw so many schools of fish, eels, starfish, turtles, and dolphins. Would highly recommend this snorkeling tour!!

Great experience with these guys   Equipment is top notch, boat is large and nice but the people make it     Fernando was our dive guide and did a great job. Risky (ironically named) was a great host/guide and kept everything running smoothly

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Everything from the reservation process to the final so long was impeccably run.

I booked well in advance after researching the operator and was so glad I picked PCDC.

Despite my hotel being pretty far from the shop and marina, it was well worth it.

Arriving the day of the dive everything was ready and setup. I have my own equipment but everyone else was set to dive.

After a great briefing we made out way to the beautiful dive spot of Catalina Islands. The first dive was a good introduction to the area. Good variety of fish, eels, sea urchin, starfish and interesting rock formations.

The second dive was a stand out. Again, the operations were great, the boat easy to step off of and in we went.

This time, a white tip reef shark and a group of eagle rays greeted us. Incredible.  A great dive.

I would use PCDC again in a heartbeat.
